1994 Dodge 3500 dually 4x4 with a 360 Magnum. 128,300 when bought in August, 134,560 now. It was out of commission for a month or so while we were getting the motor re-done (couple bad cylinders).

Pros:
  • 8' bed holds a lot of stuff (firewood, lumber, friends, etc.)

  • Rides well for a 1 ton

  • 13mpg.....pro because my 1984 Blazer got 10-11

  • Manual tranny.....also pro because not as many people know how to drive a manual tranny....it might not get stolen

  • Big Mother Fu*ker...I don't like small vehicles

  • I've gotten even better at parking You guys with smaller vehicles complaining about parking make me laugh

  • 360 seems to have decent power.

  • Dana 60 up front and Dana 80 in the rear...built like a tank, IMO.

  • 4 Low is REALLY low, stump pulling low.

  • Fold down center seat makes for a great armrest while driving

  • Only sits 3. Pro because I don't like a lot of people piling in with me.

  • Rubber floormats. They clean up easily.

  • What's that? An Airbag, you say!!!!

  • Has enough room behind the seat for my toolbox and plenty of other tools and essentials

  • Tourquey motor. Runs well when full of firewood or towing a trailer

  • Cost $2800 (before the motor)



Cons:
  • Little wide in parking lots

  • Motor could use more power.

  • A/T tires...nuff said.

  • Gets stuck in 2 feet of snow easily......who cares if the front bumper, axles, and frame were dragging Took 45 minutes and 2 best friends to dig it out...I bought them dinner later that week

  • Rust holes in bed from previous moron's Redneck 5th wheel plate that was bolted directly to the bed.

  • It doesn't have a tach. Why in the hell didn't the factory put a tach in a truck that has a manual tranny?

  • Did I mention A/T tires suck?

  • It's a Dodge




Seems like a pretty good truck, but I really wish I had some mudders for it. These tires leave lots of room for improvement.

I'll have some pics tomorrow.
